What if we had a forum devoted just to sticky threads? You know, the most common and ever so redundant stuff newbies seem to want to know. I'm talking about how to make a certain dollar amount within a specific time period. Does this or that method still work? What's the best product, service, etc.?

Then make it a requirement that new members visit this forum and that they have to click on maybe 25% of the threads there before being allowed to post. The opening post of each of the threads can stress the importance of self sufficiency in doing one's research and using the search function before posting something that has been covered thousands of times in the past.

This might cut down on the recent surge of redundant and often irrelevant posts clogging up the main board. There are very few marketing discussions there these days. It's become a third party tech/customer service venue for fiverr, Clickbank, Amazon, GetResponse and every other hot IM site and the ironic thing is, much of the "info" people receive from well meaning members is totally wrong.
